The White Lotus Season 3 may feature a major character return, though it may not be the fan-favorite Jennifer Coolidge. The new season may bring in Connie Britton again as Nicole Mossbacher to show the first and second seasons’ connection.

So, how will this happen?

The Coming of Connie Britton to The White Lotus Season 3

Britton joined the first season’s cast, with Steve Zahn as her on-screen husband Mark, Sydney Sweeney as her daughter Olivia, and Fred Hechinger as her son Quinn.

Nicole and Mark had an ongoing martial tension at the time, though they eventually managed to work it out.

However, according to ComicBook, Nicole may decide to go on a spiritual journey to the East in The White Lotus Season 3 with an important companion. So, who could it be?

Showrunner Mike White suggested Nicole might travel alongside Abby Di Grasso (Laura Dern), the former wife of Dominic Di Grasso (Michael Imperioli) from the second season.

Fans only heard Abby’s voice in the previous season, but fans may finally see her appearance in the third season.

If this happens, it will bring the show’s continuity to “one big universe,” which creator Mike White has already hinted to TVLine before, creating a Marvel-like universe.

Connie Britton Teases The White Lotus Season 3

To further prove the claim, Britton has teased the possibility of her appearance in The White Lotus Season 3 alongside another actor she doesn’t name but couldn’t be booked for the second season.

"[Mike White] wanted me to be in the second season, and there was an idea that I loved for the character," she told Deadline. "Our intention is to do it in the third season. A piece of casting didn't work in the second season, and we're hoping to [do] that in the third season."

There are theories that the hard-to-book star is Dern, and hearing her voice in the second season hinted at her bigger role in the series’ third iteration.

Dern was still busy with Jurassic World: Dominion when the show’s second season was filming, so The White Lotus Season 3 might be the perfect time for her to join the show officially.
